The Plantry cafe is a hidden gem. I brought my mom for mother's day tea. everything was divine! Richard toke great care of us and happily welcomed us back for future visits. (he took our photo too, how awesome) The owner greeted us open entry. the ambiance is STUNNING and the cocktails were delicious. cant wait to put the word out about this place!

High Tea

The food and vibes are immaculate here. I have been to the once monthly High Tea twice now and it is AMAZING. We are not a vegan or even vegetarian family and I want to assure people that the food was superb. Wish I could order those tea sandwiches during the regular lunch menu they are so crave worthy

The ambiance of the cafe is perfect. So whimsical and cozy. I've been a couple of times and everything I've tried has been so good.

The owner is so nice, the decor and menu look amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more! I had the mushroom poboy and a great recommended glass of wine!

Such a well thought interior and menu- I love the seasonal rotations and truly delicious way to eat healthy. They also do a monthly high tea which is so much fun! Definitely a one of a kind place in Baton Rouge. The vegan cheesecakes, buffalo cauliflower burger, and tofu banh mi are my favorites.

Exterior

Finally tried the Plantry Cafe! Beautiful restaurant. Worth going just for that alone. Very cozy! We were greeted and sat immediately. The waiters were very knowledgeable of the menu. Standouts mushroom scallops! I wish this was a main course. The beet salad is also very good. Also recommend the roasted maitake. Curious to try other dishes as well so I'll have to return. The owner of the restaurant was kind and greeted all patrons. And of course get the TEA!!

Time stamp

Where do I start. I came here on Valentine's Day for a birthday party. We started ordering at 6:41pm. It was Valentines so the entire restaurant could only order a three or six course meal of the same thing. We received our first course at 7:41pm our second course at 8:50pm and the dessert at 10:17pm. This place closes at 10pm!!! I have pictures to prove all of this. Our waiters started ignoring us after the first course. We received horrible service while everyone else was served their food and left accordingly. And I have never faced such racism in Baton Rouge and I have lived here my entire life. We spent over $900 and was charged for "changing seats" when we had the same number of people when we sat down at 6:41pm. The manager or owner of this establishment was unaccountable and said rude remarks without helping us. She said and I quote "Come on Valentines Day if you want any entertainment", rolled her eyes, mumbled under her breath and everything! Instead of helping us they, she told the staff to clean up and left us with the bill. She treated us like the bottom of her shoe while no other group got this treatment. She didn't even want to discuss the extra charges on our ticket. We planned on paying for our food regardless of taste because this was our friends birthday but they lied about the dessert and said it would be right out around 9:30pm and we didn't receive it until 10:40pm. The cake we received was not listed on their website and it was not what everyone else had at the restaurant. The manger did not tell us until we received the pie and saw it was not what we were supposed to receive. The manger even had an older male serve us the left over pie instead of serving it herself or had our original waiter serve it to us. Mine you the cheesecake we saw everyone else have was what was listed and what we were looking forward to but didn't get. They waiting until 10pm to say they ran out of the dessert. I just feel as though we were completely disrespected because (and I hate to say this) we were young black adults. I do not recommend this PLACE to anyone!!! Black or White. It was a horrible experience and the manger had no heart and did not care to address her own faults and the faults of her restaurant.

Polenta Maitake and Jackfruit Sliders

Very elegantly decorated restaurant, friendly attentive servers, delicious food and wine. The menu changes regularly, but if you can, try the Polenta Maitake and the Jackfruit Sliders! The owner even came by to suggest the wine that would pair best with the polenta dish. Perfect! Don't let the fact it is plant-based fool you. This food is so amazing, even my omnivore boyfriend wants to make it a regular date night.

I'm not vegan and I didn't miss having a dead animal for lunch in the slightest. My vegan dining companion was ecstatic.

All I can say is WOW. Ive recently been diving into the vegan realm, and have been wanting to try out this spot for several months. Finally got the chance to make it happen. This place is absolutely gorgeous, immaculately designed with a beautiful bar and gorgeous furnishings. The bar menu looked exquisite, I will definitely be returning to try more cocktails. We had the brussels sprouts appetizer as well as the cauliflower poppers. Both fantastic! Cauliflower is on the spicy side in a delicious buffalo type sauce. I had a large bowl of soup and a salad for my entrée, both were divine. The salad had so much great stuff on it including some absolutely delicious vegan cheese. One of the best salads I've ever had. We also had one of the Mitaki mushroom, and this thing tasted just like a juicy portobello. Similar to steak consistency, hearty and filling. Perfectly prepared. The owner/chef came out to chat with us at the end of dinner, and she absolutely has done an amazing job with this spot. Was hoping to go to the tasting party this evening, but I could not make it. Cannot wait to go back and try more things on the menu!

A whimsical one-of-a-kind dining experience is the way I would describe The Plantry Cafe. I was at the cafe for an event and I loved everything about the cafe. I love nature and trees, so to be welcomed by a tree felt dominant, yet welcoming. It was exciting! The ambiance was attractive, sophisticated,and bold. The food and drinks were delicious, and the quality of the ingredients was apparent. Dr. Crifassi's passion for high-quality and healthy food options was apparent. Her expertise and dedication were admirable. I was impacted most by the story behind the restaurant. As a caring doctor who believes in holistic medicine, she decided to give people somewhere to get healthy options instead of just telling them what to do. I'm thankful for this option, as it is a minority in Baton Rouge. It is truly a healthy experience that makes you happy! I look forward to visiting again to engage with full-s!

If you are looking for a great date night restaurant with great food, look no further. The food,…read moreservice, and ambiance of Bin 77 was amazing. A group of ladies and I were looking for a nice spot to get dinner and drinks and chose to try out a new restaurant we hadn't tried before. We all ordered the steak frites meal which came with this amazing red sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection just like I love mine (medium rare) and their fries are sooooooo good. We all enjoyed our food and the ambiance of the restaurant. It was nice and quiet. The servers were great and very helpful with anything we needed throughout our visit.

I dropped in here on a Thursday evening about 7, after finishing up a pedicure in the salon nearby…read more The front bar was full, so I was directed to the back bar. Since it was busy, the seat at the bar I chose still had empties and a check folio. I intended to order a glass or two and have dinner at the bar. I checked in with the bartender and requested water, but he was out of clean glassware. Although the bartender suggested they weren't unusually busy, they were in deep over their heads for service. Another bartender came over with my water after a while and I asked for a taste of the Malbec. He poured a bit quickly and disappeared. I didn't like the taste and wanted to try something else, but rather I have liked it and wanted a full pour, the bartender didn't return in the next 20 minutes. Several others passed in front of me and also didn't make eye contact. Maybe my experience is unusual but it was a loud, boisterous line of guys having beers who seemed to be the focus of the service. I walked out. Hoping management sees this and gets some retraining scheduled.

We were sat at a booth and while this is minor I was slightly uncomfortable there. The booths are rather narrow and I am plus sized so we didn't mix well. Next time I'll ask for a table. The table had sauces ready for yummy appetizers and entrees. And our server came out promptly. His name was Kalyn (I probably spelled it wrong) and he was terrific. My husband had been here several times but I'd only been once and I wasn't impressed the first time. We ordered and everything was delicious. So good. And perfectly warm and yummy. The broth was lighter than I remember and so rich and creamy. It was a great experience and definitely worth a try or two. (It took 2 visits to win me over.)

I was also able to try the tonkotsu black and it was really good! We were a huge group and we were glad to see they had a table that could accomodate us. The servers were very nice. We had problems with some of our orders though. They forgot to add the ramen eggs in our bowls and, when they brought it to our table, we had to slice them in half ourselves which was a struggle to do since all of us had chopsticks lol It was also a struggle trying to flag down somebody to help us with some of the wrong orders but it was a busy hour so we understand.

My wife and I have been passing this place for months and finally got the chance to stop by. I'm…read moreoriginally from Chicago and she's originally from New York so we have the Pizza debate all the time. She has friends who eat there a lot and keep saying how amazing it is. First Impressions: This place is NICE. When I got the chance to look around it is the perfect first date spot for *anybody*. The menu is diverse for a Pizzeria. They even have a chef selected Salumi Board. In the end we split a Sensation salad(which is the best I've had), Calamari Fritti, Carnosa and Mushroom Medley. The Good: Our server was Andrea. She was outstanding. She did her best to take care of us and in the end she went above and beyond with her service. The Calamari was ok but seemed to be more breaded than actual Protein. The first thing that came to mind when I tried the Marinara was "Fresh". It tasted like it was obviously done that morning. The Not So Good: When Andrea took our order she made it a point to tell us that she would space out our order. That didn't happen. And she told us the kitchen didn't follow her orders. Everything came seconds from each other. I understand a sense of urgency because the parking lot is always full and they want to push the crowds in a way where the next wave can have a place to park...But the restaurant wasn't even full. The Parking lot was but there were plenty of tables available. In the end we felt Serve and Burned. The Pizza: The char on the doh was great. I love a good fired oven pizza. But the pizza itself didn't seem like it was cooked all the way through. When I picked up a slice it just flopped down. My wife's pizza was dry. She ended up asking if they had any kind of garlic butter. And Andrea understood the assignment. She came back with the Shrimp Scampi sauce it ended up making it seem to be the one thing the Mushroom Medley needed all along. (I 100% Recommend it.) My pizza was ok, but only when the 3 slices I took a bite of had all of the toppings on them. Less than half of the pizza had Pepperoni on it. I did not get the impression that this was something that happens all the time so we will be back. I would still recommend this place to everybody.

Apparently, they have an annual limited fixed-price menu ($48) with excellent options over three courses. Unfortunately that option was not available when we dined here in early November. So we went for the pimento cheese balls and I ordered the soup de jour which was a butternut squash bisque. Both items were savory and delicious. The pimento cheese balls is fried and served over some hibiscus pepper jelly which gives a nice sweet kick to the creaminess of the cheese. The bisque is creamy and has a nutty squash punch. We loved both very much! For entrees, I debated between the pork chop and sous vide rabbit. I went with the rabbit since I never had rabbit before (weird right?) and I'm glad I went with it. The rabbit has a nice crispy texture with a gamey taste yet the meat was quite tender when cutting into it. The apple chutney compliments the rabbit well and the butternut squash side and purple cabbage garnish make it a well-rounded dish. My friend/coworker ordered the grilled gulf fish which comes with a creamy risotto. The fish is super tender and pairs well with the risotto with an olive oil finish. We were both satisfyingly stuffed from our meal although we wish we saved room for dessert. Definitely next time! They have an extensive wine and cocktail list. The Strawberry Oaxacan is a favorite along with the Kiwi Daquiri due to the exotic fruit flavors. Sadly I couldn't snap any pictures as I was caught up in sipping my Century Oak Zinfandel. I'm glad they have a Red Zinfandel which is my preferred wine of choice as it's easy to sip and not as full-bodied. Gotta give my friend props for bringing me here. We're already talking about coming here again next time I have an assignment in Baton Rouge. I can't wait!

The patio was pretty clean and actually had a ton of space. There were lots of different table sizes and it didn't feel like the tables were all pushed together in one area. It was pretty spread out. The menu is huge! I have been here before, but it has been a while. There were so many drink options and the happy hour seemed like a great deal! I would come back for that. There was also endless food options. But, we settled on a customized cheese pizza which black olives. I think this was the small size. This size wouldn't have been big enough for two adults. I had one slice because I wasn't hungry, but I brought a child and he ate the rest. It is more of a personal pizza than a shareable one. We didn't even say a size, so I'm assuming it was a small. But, the slice I did have was very good! I liked how they grated your cheese over your pizza for you...nice touch! The service was excellent! We were celebrating the child birthday and they gave us a delicious icecream sundae to celebrate. The waiter was great and very attentive.
